"In the @nytmag #GreatPerformers issue, the year's best actors — as chosen by the @nytimes film critic A.O. Scott — star in a series of photographic tributes to classic flight scenes from classic movies. This #nytweekender, we're lifting off Mya Taylor, a #transgender actress who starred this year in "Tangerine," a fast, raucously funny comedy about love and other misadventures. ''I like the idea that not everyone has to be Superman taking flight," said @danielaskill, who directed the #GreatPerformers series. "It can be something as simple as her dress and her mood taking flight.'' (#MarilynMonroe, anyone?) Follow along this #nytweekender to see more photos and videos by the filmmaker and artist @danielaskill for @nytmag. And visit the link in our profile to see the entire package, which includes a #virtualreality film." By nytimes on Instagram.
